Bayt Al-Quran: Noorani Qaida-Lesson#35| Friday
Soft Sounds, Strong Finish – هُ، ءُ، يُ، and ةُ with Dammah
And just like that — we’ve reached the final stop on our Dammah journey! 🎉 Today’s lesson wraps up this important vowel chapter with four gentle but essential sounds: هُ (Haa), ءُ (Hamza), يُ (Yaa), and ةُ (Taa Marbuta).
These letters are light on the tongue but heavy in meaning — often found in everyday Arabic words, beautiful Quranic expressions, and key vocabulary your child will encounter again and again. Whether it’s the whisper-soft هُ, the bold beginner ءُ, the melodic يُ, or the special rounded ةُ, today’s sounds are all about finesse and fluency.
As we celebrate this milestone, your child is not just learning sounds — they’re building the foundation of Arabic reading, connecting with the Quran one careful syllable at a time. This lesson is a gentle yet powerful reminder that every small sound counts — and every step forward is worth celebrating.
Ready to begin this final Dammah lesson together?

Let’s Wrap Up Dammah with هُ، ءُ، يُ، and ةُ – Activity Time!
For our final Dammah lesson, we’ve created a playful and purposeful activity sheet that brings together the softness of هُ, the pop of ءُ, the flow of يُ, and the unique twist of ةُ — all in one colorful, engaging place.
This week’s sheet includes:
Tracing exercises to strengthen hand-eye coordination with these new shapes.
Sound-matching games to help your child associate each letter with the rounded Dammah sound.
Mini word puzzles and blends to gently ease them into recognizing these letters in early words.
Perfect for quiet practice or joyful review, this activity sheet is your child’s celebratory companion as they master the final Dammah sounds. So grab those crayons and a big smile — your child just completed a major milestone in their Quranic learning journey!
Playful Activities
🗣️ 1. “Whisper & Pop” Game
Each of these letters has a unique sound feel — so turn it into a sound game! Whisper هُ like a breeze, pop ءُ with energy, stretch يُ like a melody, and say ةُ like a soft bell. Let your child act out the sound with their voice and expression. It’s great for articulation and memory!
🎨 2. Dammah Art Dots
Draw the letters ه, ء, ي, and ة on paper (without vowels). Give your child stickers or dot markers to place a Dammah above each one as they say the sound out loud. It turns learning into art and repetition into fun!
🕵️ 3. Dammah Detective Search
Hide sticky notes with هُ, ءُ, يُ, and ةُ around the room. Give your child a magnifying glass or paper "detective badge." Each time they find one, they have to say the sound and use it in a mini word like هُدى, أُمّ, يُوسُف, or رَحْمَةُ.
